While the rest of the world is talking about Britney's manufactured comeback, another act that showed so much potential earlier in the decade is back trying to put a dent on the current music landscape. Stellastarr*, the post-Strokes, pre-Killers blogger sensation released two underappreciated albums before fading into the background for the last few years. This week, they’ve made a big stand at Pianos, playing 5 straight nights at one of the clubs where they got their start. The showcase at the smaller venue, including similar sized stops in DC, Boston and Philly, acts as a reboot of sorts for the New Yorkers, who have recently been working on a third album. They've got two more nights left at Pianos, although both shows are currently sold out.

Out of all the choices last Friday night for Halloween, The Cardinals (don't call them Ryan Adams and the Cardinals anymore, that's his new peeve) provided perhaps the most low-key option. The audience was only partially costumed up at the historic theater in Harlem, and were, for the most part, politely restrained when it came to showing their love for the band. The audience stayed in their seats and behaved, and the Cards kept the drama to a minimum, with barely any of Ryan's infamous chatter. They played through almost the entirety of their latest album, as well as plenty from the whole back catalogue. Perhaps taking advantage of the break before returning to tour with Oasis, they even threw in his classic cover of "Wonderwall" to a stone quiet crowd. The band will be back in December with Noel and Liam and the rest at MSG.

Candace Bushnell, the woman who launched a thousand well-heeled tourists on to a stoop in the Greenwich Village, is now jumping on the popular Young Adult bandwagon, having announced that she's inked a deal to write two teen novels. Get excited, they're Sex and the City prequels!

Last week Miley Cyrus took GMA's Bryant Park stage, sans Hannah Montana wig, for an early morning concert. This morning she took her act over to The Today Show, while Feist owned the GMA crowd at Bryant Park. It wasn't a competition but...they did both bring their spirit fingers! And even though Miley is popular with the tweens, Feist is sure to win over the tots after her appearance on Sesame Street airs later this year.

Did you hear a bone-chilling collective shriek coming from the Bryant Park this morning? It was just Miley Cyrus and her legion of tweeny-bopper fans piled into Bryant Park for an early morning concert courtesy of Good Morning America. To put some perspective on it, this was pretty much equivalent to the Bon Jovi concert in Central Park but for the underage set.

The NY Times visited the corner of 61st Street and Amsterdam to find out what New York adolescent girls at the alterna-Beacon School think of "role model" Miley Cyrus. Recently the 15-year-old actress was caught flaunting her bare skin online and in print.

While there may be an uproar around Miley Cyrus's "topless" photo for a Vanity Fair shoot, it's possible that this photograph of Miley with "Achy, Breaky" dad Billy Ray Cyrus is more disturbing. Or maybe it's just because we have never seen a daughter pose like this with her father. Then again, there is a father who convinced his daughter to work at a brothel and gives her bikini waxes.

Oh, to be 15, to be the powerhouse behind a $1 billion franchise, and to have your "artistic" portrait--taken by Annie Leibovitz--be criticized! Teen star Miley Cyrus's photographs for the June issue of Vanity Fair have prompted a war of the words between the teen star, Disney (which produces her wildly popular "Hannah Montana" show) and the magazine.
